Dear zebproj,

Apologies for the late comment, but I had a query I wanted to share.

Would it be possible for you to create a tool that allows users to mimic human emotional sounds directly in the browser? I’m thinking of sounds like realistic coughs, sighs, gasps, and other vocal expressions like shouting or crying etc
. It would be amazing if the tool could optionally incorporate TTS, but even without it, the functionality would be very valuable for content creators or people who need custom sound effects.

The idea is to let users customize these sounds by adjusting parameters such as intensity, pitch, and duration. It could also include variations for emotional contexts, like a sad sigh, a relieved sigh, a startled gasp, or a soft cough. An intuitive interface with sliders and buttons to tweak and preview sounds in real-time would make it super user-friendly, with options to save or export the generated audio much like the project pinktrombone

I’m quite new to this field and only have basic experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. However, I am very much interested in this area and I was wondering if this is something that could be achieved using tools like CursorAI or similar AI-based solutions? Or better yet, is it possible for you to create something like this for people like me who aren’t very tech-savvy?

Thank you so much
I don’t know what the best case scenario is. Perhaps it is simply to avoid the likely case scenarios. As I see it, the great risk of temperature increases such as this would be the collapse of food chains that we ultimately rely upon.
Algol (and Pascal) originally did the same thing that C did, except that you used `begin` and `end` instead of `{` and `}` when you needed a compound statement as a branch etc.

Modula changed it so that all structured constructs implicitly introduced a compound statement, and terminated one where appropriate (e.g. on `else`), but this still required some end marker for the last one.

If the question is why `begin` and `end` and not `{` and `}` - for one thing, Algol was designed to be the language you'd write reference implementations of algorithms in for publication, so readability was more important than terseness. For another, it predates ASCII, and not all charsets in use at the time even had `{` and `}` as symbols.
I want to challenge this assumption that “the distro way is the good way” and anything else that people are doing is the “wrong” way.

I want to challenge it, because I’m beginning to be of the opinion that the “distro way” isn’t actually entirely suitable for a lot of software _anymore_.

The fact that running something via docker is easier for people than the distro way indicates that there are significant UX/usability issues that aren’t being addressed. Docker as a mechanism to ship stuff for users does suck, and it’s a workaround for sure, but I’m not convinced that all those developers are “doing things wrong”.
Nix and Guix solve the problem, I don't see why they shouldn't count. Traditional global install distros are too inflexible and imperative.
Prior to Qulipta, did you get any benefits from monoclonal antibodies targeting CGRP? So far I haven't. Periactin helps.
> a terminal available at a short-cut/button-press that will always show it but not fully hide the rest, no matter what other context you're in

I cant be the only person who uses Quake-style terminals at fullscreen. The second part of your sentence is the crucial bit: the ability to instantly conjure a persistent terminal regardless of whatever else I have on screen.

I mean, you could email customer support and mail them cash? Why do you think this middleman is unnecessary? Whats the alternative?
> Because humans generally start counting from 1.

I’m not parent, but for me the question is not literally why did they choose 1-based indexing. That’s easy to answer. The question is really: why haven’t they realized by now that the disadvantages of 1-based indexing far outweigh the benefits when it comes to programming, and changed it? Backward compatibility is a valid reason, but lots of other people have tried 1-based arrays and reverted to 0-based once it becomes clear that 1-based arrays causes more problems than it solves. Even humans who count starting from one will soon want to use 0-based the moment they need to add two array indexes together; we don’t want to have to start from 2 in that case, right? Early versions of the famous Numerical Recipes in C started with 1-based arrays, but removed them, and got slightly better. :P
Shipping bundles of whatever libraries for each app is a security nightmare. I don't know how the Windows model can be suggested with any seriousness.
I've been using Google premium to not see ads for years now. It's great and apparently the video makers earn more too. I don't love Google's domination and some of their practices but this is pretty reasonable.
You might be surprised at how many salespeople are also introverts. Through years of being an (introverted) sales engineer, I've learned that outgoing socialization can be tough even for salespeople. Some of the most successful sales people I've worked with need to go quietly recharge for a day after a ton of meetings, just like I do. The biggest differentiator there is that the ones who can't manage it with a smile don't last long.

Relationship building in sales, like all skills, can be learned, even if it's draining.
Does the native file tagging see much adoption? I'm a lifelong Mac user and tried using the tags when they first launched, but eventually it was too much work and I resorted to using search to find what I'm looking for. Not macOS native search but tools like LaunchBar, Alfred, et al or apps like EasyFind.
> Windows support is planned after the 1.0 release.

This really does aim to be the terminal for all.
I know there are some open source Mac apps sold for a couple bucks but you can also build for yourself.

That said, I assumed it’s fairly well-trodden mostly because FSF for as long as I can remember approved/recommended something along the lines of selling builds but completely opening the source. I guess RHEL arguably falls into the camp as well, but they sell more than builds.
Fred Hoyle theorised (or popularised other peoples theories) that it squeezed like water from the interstitial spaces in the rock under geological time and pressure. I've got a book of his from the 60s discussing planetary formation which mentions it.

Completely irrelevant. Freedom 2 means people are free to build and distribute as they wish. Upstream need not care what the format is. Just make the software easy to build and get out of the way.

I admit that I am pretty allergic to people who avoid working with imperfect code.
It indexes based on tags. You could theoretically have every file in one folder and still browse by artist/album/genre etc.
As someone who uses the default terminal app, I'm curious to learn about other people's use-cases where the choice of terminal app makes a difference and how.
I use Guix. Have a nice day.
> Score voting calls for ambiguous, proven-to-be-culturally-variable ratings that have no natural relationship to preferences

utter nonsense. the scores are just normalized utilities.

or, if you're being strategic, you're just min-maxing based on expected utility.
https://www.rangevoting.org/RVstrat6

> (and approval does the same thing in an opposite way

utter nonsense. approval voting is just a binary 0-1 scale instead of e.g. 0-5. the math in no way changes.

> while score voting relies on ambiguous distinctions that don’t have a clear mapping from actual preferences

utterly false. there is nothing "ambiguous" whatsoever.

> approval forces voters to rank with artificial ties that don’t have a clear mapping to actual preferences

of course it has a mapping to actual preferences. what you're _trying_ to say is that the transform from utilities ("preferences") to scores is LOSSY. the problem is that transforming to ordinal rankings is even MORE lossy, and this is why approval voting still outperforms ranked methods in general, especially with strategic voting taken into account.

Landing page and github README could improve:

- picture or gif is worth a thousand word

- it mentioned its cross-platform but I don't see support for Windows or Android - its better make it explicit it's only for macOS and Linux. Yesterday was looking for some nicer terminal on Android and was hoping ghostty could work.

- I like simple landing pages but this... is too simple and not much useful (only 2 buttons and ASCII image. Why even bother with such landing page and not just stick with github README?

- it doesn't provide me any fast information how to compares to different terminals and why I should switch from Warp
Yeah, I could be wrong, but wasn't there one called just "Banner"? It would leverage the matrix printer's chained paper, and print the multi-page banners all the way through. I've never had such an experience anymore when laser printers emerged, and I had to cut margins off and tape the pieces awkwardly together.
Yes, I saw this both on the German registry (that lists general anesthesia as the only option for the marrow collection, but 90% of donations are supposed to be stem cell donations from blood) and some English-language one (I think from the UK) and just double-checked the German one. https://www.nmdp.org/get-involved/join-the-registry/donate-b... says 96% of bone marrow donors get general anesthesia.

Both sites I saw also stated that you should only sign up if you're willing to do both, which given the "90% donate stem cells only" number seems extremely odd (I'm sure there are many people willing to donate stem cells while being unwilling to undergo general anesthesia).
IWeThey is among the best, probably the best, Web forums I know. It has one killer feature that HN sorely lacks: It shows edit history, edited posts have a link to show all previous versions.

AFAICR it's open source; I think there is (or at least used to be?) a link to the code on the front page. If not, get in touch with the author, Scott A. (username “Malraux”).

You can always run tmux inside. I personally don't use tabs in my terminal emulator at all, because I use tmux tabs for everything.

It may not work for you, of course.
Some of the lakes will look like seas. Water is relatively easy to cross, provided you avoid storms or can cope with them. A storm on land isn't too much fun for a traveller either.

Until fairly recently, water was generally the quickest route from A to B, if it was available. That helps to explain why the UK and Ireland's island disposition was not an obstacle to the same continuous series of colonisation events throughout history as the rest of Europe.

Anyway, your super continent will have quite a lot of fresh water on it and will probably involve some very impressive rivers and inland lakes/seas. That single coastline will mean that all sea faring will be coastal until someone notices that they can nip across through what would look like a worm hole to begin with!

I suspect things would play out in a similar fashion anyway and some nutter will sail or row straight away from land and keeps on going - and the mad idea of a spherical earth eventually takes hold. Perhaps it will be too far and powered flight is developed first and is able to stay aloft and move quickly enough. Perhaps airships are invented before trans ocean shipping.

In another mad world, where sea or air "shipping" is not good enough, mankind straps themselves to giant fireworks, invent an amazing G-suit after some unfortunate efforts involving the pilots being smeared to the back of their clothing and then invent amazing parachutes (after a few hard landings). There are a few other details to sort out, such as how to mount the ash trays and where to put the cabin crew for first class.

There is a very rich set of sci-fi and fantasy novels/stories/novellas/films/stories told around a campfire/streamed stuff that cover what might happen "if things were the same but different", for a given value of same and different.

Mr Pratchett and some of his mates called us humans: "The Story Telling Ape". It's high time you started listening to those stories, or even better, telling some of your own - you do that wondering you mentioned.
Once you reach LuaJIT levels of performance though it's not like you need more. If you're doing a huge amount of heavy lifting in your embedded runtime then you've probably designed the application wrong.

The fat better arguments are that it's more common and there are more libraries.
I haven't seen a library that does that yet, including Python. Usually you just throw messages into the void. Do you know of a specific library that does that?
No, I very deliberately did not describe any bug fixes.
>There's no need to keep such build products in git.

There is when the bridged build system doesn't use hashes, like requirements.txt.
Why is this an issue? Simply recompile and download each package. If the distro worries that the maintainers would take too low just fork and recompile the packages themselves. These days its really not that big of a problem in terms of disk space or network traffic. And if some packages are large its often because of images resources which can be packaged separately. It seems like a lot less effort then trying to guess if dynamicly linked library will work with every package in every case after the update.
I know this is not a good faith question but I did devops for many years and the state of the tooling and culture is so atrocious that I don't know if they will ever catch on. They're all lost in a swamp of YAML and Dockerfiles, a decade or more behind the rest of the industry in terms of software engineering knowledge. No one ever had any clue when I tried to talk to them about functional and immutable package management.

At the time the computer store I worked for sold countless copies of Print Shop. We also had a service at our store where we would lay out and print banners for people. I think it was one of the first tools that got people to consider their PC could be used for more than word processing... that practical graphics were in reach of the average home user.
All these AI services are a great value for the money. I can’t believe that it’s profitable in any way. It seems to me anecdotally that once some market share is reached prices will skyrocket.

I don’t think the barrier to entry is big enough to make this scaling model suitable.
Why? What would be nice about it?

The change was mostly procedural, removing apis that were old and replacing them with more modern variants. Gorhill decided to take the opportunity to make a political stand against chrome. Good for him I guess. Given the popular sentiment against google, there was no serious pushback against his stand, including from the independent media and so on. But a google engineer would presumably know the "both sides" take on the subject, and hence not see it as reflecting especially poorly on google.

Whereas a normal extension maintainer would transparently update their extension to a new API, removing any features that could no longer be supported, gorhill elected to let the old extension go out of support, and replace it with a similarly named extension under the same organization. The features in the old extension removed in the new one were minor to non-existent. The main worry was originally that they wouldn't be able to cram all the network filtering rules they needed into the limited number that were permitted. However I believe this issue was mostly worked around.

The rest of the issues raised were a masterstroke of politiking on gorhill's part. Basically, google's justification for this removing of apis business was in part to increase privacy/security. Such improvement of course could only arrive if extensions didn't demand broad permission to see all the data on every page a user visits. So gorhill designed the new "ublock origin lite" around not needing to demand this permission. Of course, such an extension necessarily must have much more limited features than the original "ublock origin". Gorhill then presented this loss in functionality as somehow a necessary casualty of the "Mv3" upgrade.

Of course, the original uB0 extension demanded the same broad permission, so this loss in functionality wasn't really a casualty of the new manifest version. Rather, it was an accusation by gorhill against google that their justification for bumping the version was false. The new uB0l extension incidentally supports a mode that demands this broad permission, so in fact the total amount of lost functionality is practically non-existent. The result is that everyone has the opportunity to flame google for their seeming anti-user behaviour. However, to a google engineer this would presumably come across as unfair, and they would presumably feel as if they were being targeted.

A neutron star is defined by "neutron degeneracy pressure."

In the merger of a black hole and a neutron star, the event horizon will "slice" the degenerate matter away.

Does all of the matter that escapes this event need to lose degeneracy?

It is said that ten earth masses of gold are released in a neutron star merger.
What is native UI in this context? My terminal emulator is also always basically a full-screen black textarea with white letters. No window borders, no tabs, no buttons, no menus, nothing else. Is there anything native UI would give me in this case (and what is a native UI, I can't find it defined anywhere)?
The modern day reality is that on Linux everyone ships countless Docker containers of god knows what libraries and binaries that was built lord knows when. So its exact the same thing except there’s an extra step that’s fighting how the system wants to operate.
Yes, I know. But for your personal file names, you can pick whatever you feel like.
Indexing, I give you this one... I think it was intended as some kind of a gift to a "non programmer", a choice many other older language made, by the history decided to go another way, unfortunately for Lua. Still, I haven't had any issues adjusting to this one, personally. It seems kind of like Python whitespacing, I think I forget about it.
Not any worse than most other commonly used calendars, and it's got the benefit of network effects: many people use it, and virtually everyone will be at least somewhat familiar with it.
I'll have to look at Termux GUI again. I've tried poking around with Tasker and it's Termux plugin but it seems so confusing and poorly documented that I'd rather just write a native app at that point lol

>Something I have been wondering about is the "backlink" feature.

I trust this is why everyone tries to rely on network-like structure.
Static linking is acceptable when you can update a version of a library in one place and it will trigger rebuilds of all dependent software, ensuring things like security updates are delivered system-wide with confidence. The Windows every-app-is-an-island model makes you reliant on every app developer for updates to the entire dependency graph, which in practice means you have a hodge podge of vulnerable stuff.
Well put. Conversely, there should be no shock (pearl clutching and what not) when the behavior is called out for what it is: self serving performance art.

Does "native" exist on Linux, in your opinion? Feels to me like both QT and GTK (and maybe iced if cosmic comes to fruition?) could be considered native (or none of them can, depending on your point of view).
Amazing, thanks! This is most of how I use a terminal. Will give it a go.
Well I'm not an evangelist of the app or anything, but I use it because it has the best UI I've found so far

Oops. The same major media outlets that have spent years harping about the dangers of misinformation and strongly hinted at their desire for a digital censorship protocol that can curb these so-called dangers from sources that aren't these major media outlets (looking especially at you NY Times), show, once again, how they construct narrative in ways that suit some internal interest of theirs. That however apparently can't be classified as misinformation.

I'd love to see their reasoning for not revealing the full content of the report.
You know, I hadn't thought about it before, but I'm sure canine life extension will be only slightly less profitable than human life expansion (in the near term).
My thoughts can be summed up in 4 words: "stay away from async".

Several decades of experience debugging race conditions and other obscure concurrency bugs have taught me that the benefits of async code are rarely worth it, and more often than not add unnececessary overhead both at runtime and in development.
Nope, that's completely wrong, to the point that you cannot have possibly thought it was correct. You can avoid using reflection, object orientation, and parametric polymorphism in Lua, just as you can in almost any other language, and stick to simple imperative code. And most of the time you should.
> I'm more likely to care of my card works and not care if I'm charged x% fee.

Sure, any alternative needs to work on a practical/technical level, be convenient, have fraud protection etc.

But if it does, and a merchant I know and trust (these are fairly big caveats!) were to offer me a discount equivalent to what my card issuing bank pays me in cashback and then some as an incentive for paying using that alternative, why wouldn't I do it?

> Replacing all payment terminals is not easy.

Terminals already support multiple payment networks today, some even non-card based.

> for small businesses it was probably bad, but for a big business dealing with lots of cash is probably not cheap.

It's exactly the other way around. Big chains can strike custom interchange and scheme fee deals with Visa and Mastercard, because they have the credible threat of offering steep discounts on store cards or other "on-us" payment methods; small businesses basically need to accept what they get.
